Answer 1

Poor Hammie.



Please dont waste time posting a question like this on Yahoo when your hamster could be in alot of pain, just get him to the vet ASAP. It sounds like he may of broken his leg.

Answer 2

How old is your baby hamster?



If your hamster is literally a baby then it can't really walk yet. No fur means it is still supposed to be with its mother and left alone, meaning no human contact.



If your hamster is older and has all its fur. Take your hamster to the vet. It sounds like he may have broken his back legs. Hamsters are not supposed to walk like frogs.

Answer 3

What happened just before this happened? It sounds like his back legs are broken? Was he thrown or dropped? You need to take him to the vet immediately- it's inhumane not to.

Answer 4

Take hamster to vet.

Answer 5

he could have broke a leg . Do you have one of those wheels in the cage? He could have got his leg caught in it or maybe some one dropped him. Go to the vets!

Answer 6

You need to take him to a vet. Or call your pet shop and ask if this has ever happened before. Good luck.

Answer 7

Something is clearly wrong. You should go to the vet like that guy just said. Hampsters and rodents also carry lots of diseases so he might have one. Poor hampster =(

Answer 8
